My resume got shortlisted for Operations Associate/Engineer-Amazon Managed Services role. I am an experienced AWS engineer with 5YOE.I feel like this role will be degrading in nature for me. Is it worth joining for this position. I would love to join Amazon based on my experience and skill set. But Not to some position which doesn't require AWS experience.

l am currently a rising junior in
college interning this summer at
Amazon as a Business Analyst. I
would really like to break into
product management and believe in
my 5 weeks so far I have shown skills
to back that up. Would it be
acceptable to ask my manager to
recommend me for a product
management internship next
summer? My midpoint meeting with
my manager (and his manager) is
next Friday
AWS cloud application architect. Had an on-site interview with AWS a few days ago and just got an email saying they want to talk to me about next steps. The role is cloud application architect but I want to ask them about the senior cloud application architect role. I have all the relevant experience for that role and feel like I’d be a better fit for that senior role. How should I approach this conversation? Is this even possible? Amazon

Honestly, I wouldn’t remove it. Leading events, planning, and growing membership are solid leadership and organizational skills. Plus, it shows initiative. If a company sees DEI work as a red flag, is that somewhere you’d want to be? Your volunteer work reflects values and skills they should value too.
Take it off.
But don’t remove the experience, the initiatives you lead, etc. Make things about what you accomplished and why YOU were chosen, not the reason the effort was being done.
You have skills and experience that are of value.
However, “read the room”, any organization you would want to work for has swung to the new POTUS, unless you have a moral objection ( it seems the CEOs don’t) focus on what you can contribute.
Work is about making $$ (with benefits) leading to making more of the same.
If you want to make a difference, take some of that comp and donate it to those orgs that are leading the way.
Keep it. Be proud of who you are. And be proud of what you're doing. I empathize with your concern. There will be a lot of problems in the next months and years. But hiding mention of your leadership qualities seems like a bad idea. If people are going to discriminate against for that, well, they're not going to give you any opportunity anyway.
Not full of fear. Who are you to presume what I feel?
“Show up work….” I assume you’re trying to say show up and work? I can’t show up to a job I don’t have.
“Keep moving forward” I’ve built an e-commerce website for myself to sell seeds from my property, a foraging mobile app that documents foraged plants, tracks processes and product for herbalists and I’ve built a greenhouse to grow my own food, so the next time you want to comment remember how foolish you look when you presume to know what you clearly know nothing about.
DEI or no, it's a leadership role and speaks on your merrit and ability.
I am a proud Hispanic; however, I disagree with the teachings of DEI. Your are providing a great service to the company and your Hispanic work “familia.” KEEP IT ON!
Im lItErAlLy sHaKiNg reading this.
It is a part of your work history. Do not remove it. I am not removing it from my resume.
Honestly i do not think DEI should be a thing. if you are qualified for a job regardless of race ,color or creed. I often use an airline pilot as an example . do you want them hired for their qualifications or because of DEI
Don't remove it. That's how they win. DEI programs are so important and the work you did was valuable and real. If doing DEI work is "holding you back" from a company, is that really a company you wanna work with?
Keep it. It has nothing to to do with DEI.
I say stand for what you believe in and follow your passions. For some DEI is another path, or sign of hope for opportunity. Don't allow political lightning rods to throw your towel in, and shatter your beliefs.
Reword it. All companies in the states still have to comply with antidiscrimination state and constitional laws. You are not a liability if you can show you can socialize among a crowd. Just because somebody doesn't like the program doesn't mean the constitution and legal employment practices cease being enforceable. Texas businesses and universities have messed around and are currently finding out. 2022 Judge threw out antidei lawsuit against Texas A&M. Keep your diversity in your resume, your future employer may need it more than you know.
DEI is a lie
Its all based off getting
Away from individuals
And getting too nosy.
In the last 15 years,
There are definite
Ideologies which originated
All this. Why can't the originators
Follow their own beliefs?
They don't. In Russia, officers
Under this version of this
Ideology did something interesting
With their officers. They were paid
10X that of the enlisted man.
Point, all these ideologies
Breed the WORST of mankind.
They purport to be a friend,
A growth, an increase. When they
Get in, they want people to enjoy
The emptiness.
DEI is a nose created by George
And Barak. It creates 90 week
Work holidays. Remember that.
I do. Atheism is dead. Leave it in
The graveyard, not your company.
Get help!
don't comply in advance. Do you really want to work for a company who doesn't approve of your experience and values?
I would recommend taking it off. Employers should see your worth in your skills and accomplishments, If dei is important to employers, it'll come out in the interview process. Of the dei hires I've read and heard about, those are some of the first people to go.
Nonsense
Its funny to watch you people go from reporting coworkers for jokes about pronouns to scrubbing your profiles and resumes of them within the course of 3 months
When applying for any type of work, I would always tailor my resume for the job.
If it's a group that is "woke" then DEI it up.
If it's more conservative then don't racism/wokism to be part of it.
OR
... Just apply at places where you like their policy already.
Please don't remove it. It would be the wrong place to land if it holds you back. Plus, you did the work.
What you call a resource group I would call blatant racism, so I would do my best to erase it from my history.
Is the scope of the Hispanic Resource Group to level opportunities for that group? Or is it an entity bound to increase their productivity and defy the merit-driven logic by raising competence of its members?
in difficult times, we can keep principles by bending the rules on their own virtue axis.
It wouldn’t help you anyway, if racism lingers in your organisation. You are the only person that can judge the environment where you work.
By all means, we will not come out unscathed from this societal turn. we need to think for the long run.
I would not. Just your face and your name may identify you as a minority anyway. Being an advocate identifies you also as a leader and a person with values. Have those things changed? Wouldn't you advocate now for minorities and the disabled? Do you no longer care about the LGBT community? Would you stand by and let others discriminate against a Muslim or a Jewish person? Be proud of who you are and what you believe in. Hatred wins battles but never the war.
do they have a resource group for every nationality race religion and gender?
Do a favor, remove it. It's not required for job function and managers look at resume differently than others. this is a distraction to your job function. Managers will think you may be radical.
